Painting of three men on a bench
From Jokes of joke5.co.uk
A couple attending an art exhibition at the National Gallery saw a portrait that had them totally confused.
The picture depicted three black men totally naked, sitting on a park bench. Two of the black men had black penises, but the guy in the middle had a pink penis.
The curator of the gallery realized the couple was having trouble interpreting the painting and offered his assistance. He went on and on for nearly half an hour, explaining how it depicted the sexual emasculation of African Americans in a predominantly white society. In fact, he pointed out, some serious critics believe that the pink penis the cultural and social oppression expressed by gay men in a contemporary society.
After the curator left, a Scotsman approached the couple and said: "Would you like to know what the painting’s REALLY about?"
The couple said: "How would you claim to know more about that painting than the curator of the gallery?"
The Scotsman replied: "Well, I’m the guy who painted it."
"In fact, there’s no African American representation at all in this painting. They’re just three Scottish coal miners and the guy in the middle went home for lunch."
